Dear Clients and Business Friends,

Since we are facing new economic and geopolitical pressures in today’s turbulent times, with an unprecedented impact on people’s everyday lives and on business, we have dedicated the new issue of H&P Magazine to current challenges, opportunities, trends, and to certain risks. Get ready for a new reality with our H&P Magazine!

Soon, many a company is to face a new duty to publish a non-financial ESG report. In fact, sustainability is a broad issue within companies and so are the criteria and data an ESG report should cover. We will advise you on where to get started with reporting and what to focus on. In the magazine, you can also read an article about how best to prevent cyber attacks and what to do when your company actually becomes a target.

The new H&P Magazine also covers a wide range of other topics such as the trends in venture capital and cryptocurrency taxation, which appeal to many of our clients. You can also read about the benefits of a digital notary, about how architectural competitions can contribute to the construction of high-quality buildings, or about how to proceed in the public procurement of legal services.

We have been trying to be a truly reliable partner for you also in the context of the unexpected events and economic uncertainty brought about in the recent months and years. A partner you can rely on with absolute confidence under any circumstances, for business as well as private matters.

We are therefore very pleased by the long-term remarkably positive feedback we get from you – our clients and business partners – which keeps us highly motivated for the future. Moreover, it was also your references that made us win the Chambers Europe Awards, the most prestigious sectoral award for the best law firm in the Czech Republic, for the third time in a row in 2022. In addition, in the last Slovak Law Firm of the Year competition, we were rated the best international law firm and we also repeatedly won the award for the best client services.

Let me thank you, on behalf of all my colleagues, for your trust and long-term cooperation which we will hopefully continue to build upon in the coming period.

I hope you will find the magazine inspirational and pleasant to read.
